When deciding on your wedding photographer and comparing portfolios, try to imagine that you are looking at your own wedding images. Don’t forget that your photographer will also be there to capture your engagement, (and hopefully your pregnancy and future family). It’s important to find a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, as well as having exceptional technical expertise.
After viewing a few portfolio’s, if you feel an emotional connection with their work, and if you feel comfortable enough to entrust personal and candid moments together, chances are you have found the right photographer for you.
“To photograph weddings properly your heart has to be leading you.” – Alan Maudie.

Some of the best wedding pictures capture candid spontaneous moments. It may seem ironic, however an exceptional photographer will move like a ghost throughout your day capturing every moment in the best possible light.
“My approach is to be as discreet and subtle as possible so that I can create and capture images that look like the couple or subject weren’t aware they were being photographed…I really, really wish I could be invisible.” – Alan Maudie.

Natural looking photographs are another current trend that is rapidly growing, and it is ideal for your wedding album to have a variety of lighting scenarios to capture different moments throughout your day. Many professional Calgary photographers are using natural light or equipment that mimics natural light, to produce super realistic images. “Less tech, more love.” says Maudie.
